[AUCTeX] Re: Problem with getting preview-latex to work

[Ion Mihai]

I did a quick google for 'Windows API error 123' and found that somebody on this
list had this problem a couple of weeks a go... So following the discussion
there I installed auctex-20061016-a-pkg.tar.gz (changed the gs-command to
gsview32c and checked that the binaries are in the path...) The Windows API
errors are now gone but there is now a strange error from latex. This is the
output I get with preview-document on circ.tex:

Running `Preview-LaTeX' on `circ' with ``latex -interaction=nonstopmode
"&prv_circ" circ.tex''
This is pdfeTeX, Version 3.141592-1.30.6-2.2 (MiKTeX 2.5)

So as you can see the output is 103 pages (!!) and of course I don't get any
preview in xemacs..... If I try only latex, everything works fine.
